Will the Caesars Sale Change the Strip? Plus, the BTS Ripple Effect and a Historic Golden Knights Playoff Run
About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of the Caesars sale, BTS's influence in Las Vegas, and the Golden Knights' playoff success.
After months of speculation, Houston-based billionaire Tillman Fertitta announced Thursday that his company would buy Caesars Entertainment in a deal worth $17.6 billion. It’s the second Caesars sale in just six eight years – but will it change the complexion of the Las Vegas Strip? Host Jesse Merrick is joined by Kip Kelly, Founding Creative Director at the Beverly Theater, and Executive Producer Layla Muhammad to break it all down. Plus, the team discusses the wide-reaching ripple effects of BTS’s Las Vegas takeover, and whether or not Vegas Golden Knights fill-in coach John Tortorella deserves an apology from … basically everyone after the Knights punched their third ticket to the Stanley Cup Finals in just nine years. Plus, in our members-only bonus segment, we look at why Las Vegas’ tax revenues are riding high – and why that hasn’t translated for the people who actually live here.
